BPS

BPS stands for bacteria per second.

BPS adds to the total number of owned bacteria even when not tapping or when the app is closed. The player starts with 0 BPS and increases it by purchasing different bacteria colonies.

In later game, percentage increases or BPS modifiers become available. BPS modifiers can be local to one colony type or affect the global BPS.
